The Dignified Way to Serve Your Clients

The Divorce With Dignity Network is made up of independent divorce professionals — including mediators, divorce coaches, paralegals, and attorneys — who help people obtain a peaceful divorce through alternative, cost-effective, and amicable methods.

Providers offer a safe, supportive environment where clients can navigate the emotional and practical complexities of divorce — helping them separate with mutual respect, dignity, and collaboration, rather than conflict or high legal costs.

Divorce planning and facilitation is the core service offering for our Providers. Within this service, you:

  • Educate and inform your clients so they know what to expect in the divorce process.
  • Guide them through the divorce maze with clarity and confidence.
  • Depending on their needs, coach them on communication and emotional regulation, and provide referrals to legal, financial, and mental health professionals — helping them save money and stay in control of their process.

Your referral network may include counselors, financial planners, mediators, attorneys, real estate professionals, career counselors, and support groups that help clients build stability and community during and after divorce.

Using the Divorce With Dignity method, our Providers take a holistic approach so that every client’s emotional, financial, and legal needs are met.

Most Providers also offer mediation and divorce coaching services, a perfect complement to our divorce planning and facilitation model.

Law Firm and Mediation Practice Expansion

Would you like to offer clients a cooperative divorce option while increasing revenue and referrals?
We can help you strategically expand your family law, general practice, or mediation services.

While 95–98% of divorces never go to trial, most families still need affordable, professional guidance. Divorce With Dignity fills the gap between DIY forms and costly litigation — empowering law firms, mediators, and coaches to serve this unmet market with integrity.

Adding peaceful divorce services allows you to:

  • Capture new clients seeking lower-cost, high-value alternatives

  • Offer “good, better, best” options in your practice

  • Retain clients who might otherwise turn to online form services

  • Turn existing administrative staff into revenue-generating team members

  • Gain new referrals and strengthen community trust

DWD gives professionals a ready-made system to deliver client-centered solutions while reducing overhead and increasing satisfaction.

Many general practice law firms are also looking for ways to increase revenue and increase the specialization of their legal services to prevent further encroachment from larger law firms in their markets. Divorce With Dignity with its unique business model is ideally positioned to assist these smaller firms to find a niche in lower cost value-added peaceful divorce services. This is truly a new business opportunity for general practice firms because many people have lost faith in the traditional system of divorce resolution.

Again, are you trying to grow your business without having all the services your clients, need, want, and deserve? And, why should you lose incremental business revenue to the online option for divorce services that is faceless and ill-equipped, (not legal professionals) to help people through a truly legal process? Without a low-cost option, like Divorce With Dignity, that is safe and administrated by legal professionals, people are throwing their money away because they don’t understand the forms.

Other reasons to consider offering peaceful divorce services are:

  •  You can add this new revenue stream without increasing your overhead (since you already have a going legal practice with an office, conference room, telephone, computers, insurance, etc.).
  • You likely have a legal secretary or paralegal that may not be fully utilized in your office or you might be sharing a paralegal or renting one at very high per diem rates that could be brought on full time.
  • This service can be performed by your legal secretary or paralegal and turn their overhead expense into a profit center.
  • Opportunities for referral business from the service you provide to your DWD clients
  • More than an online forms service, but less than litigation.
  • Divorce With Dignity offers personal guidance and facilitation to those seeking a peaceful or collaborative divorce.
  • The price of Divorce With Dignity services is affordable to the greatest number of people seeking a divorce today.
